So we all know that Germany is famous for its Oktoberfest tradition, but to shatter illusions that is unfortunately a Bavarian, or more specifically, a Munich tradition.

Thankfully, every corner of the world now celebrates this fine tradition, including Frankfurt, which hosts its very own three-week Oktoberfest at the Commerzbank arena starting next weekend!

There is only a week to go but there are still some days with tickets available. The finale on the 11th October is already sold out but with the event open 6 days a week (not Mondays) there are still a few spaces left.
